Instructions

Place the chicken breast, salsa, broth, taco seasoning, jalapeno, corn and beans in a 5-6 quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours, or on low for 5-7 hours. Remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker, shred with two forks. Return shredded meat to slow cooker. Stir in cream cheese and cheddar cheese.
